Our Postpartum Doula Team
A professional postpartum doula is like a trusted family member or friend -- except that they are trained in the most current, safe, evidence-informed ways to care for new parents and babies. Whether this is your first or fifth baby, a postpartum doula is there to serve as your family needs, tailoring each care experience to your individual preference.
Beginning with the care of new parents and the newborn, postpartum doulas help to guide you through the early days of nursing/feeding, diaper changes, lack of sleep, and questions about baby care. Postpartum doulas help with light household tasks like dishes, laundry, tidying, or preparing snacks / light meals. Often families want assistance with older siblings so they don't feel left out when the baby arrives.
Whatever your family's needs, a postpartum doula is there to provide steady, reliable support so that your transition into this chapter of parenthood is as stress free as possible.
